>I must have missed the democratic discussion about private businesses assisting in killing people at all, a duty traditionally exercised by states.

I'm not sure if you're criticizing that this happens at all or if you're criticizing it as a new development. Either way, it's generally been actual killing that's reserved for the state (or its mercenaries). Private organizations building and refining weapons for the state has been a thing in America since the old west.
